Earth Day projects using balloons

Balloon Stamping from I Heart Arts N Crafts.

I love using balloons at my autism center to work on communication (asking for “balloon”), building oral motor skills (blowing into the balloon) and fine motor skills (tying a knot in the balloon end).

Sensory Earth Day projects

Make Earth Day Slime from Little Bins for Little Hands.

This sensory activity is adorable and looks like so much fun. I love any activity that I can make with my little learners, that makes a mess and helps build tolerance to different textures. As soon as I saw this activity, I knew I had to share it with you. This is the perfect project to do to celebrate Earth Day while having a lot of sensory fun!

Earth Day projects that explain recycling

Making Paper Recycling Activity for Kids from Schooling a Monkey.

This is a fascinating activity to do to discuss earth Day, its meaning, and recycling. If your child doesn’t have these communication/listening skills just yet, it is also a fun sensory activity to do together. You can guide your child to complete each step or create a visual schedule for the activity that will clearly show each step.

Earth Day projects using egg cartons

Egg Carton Tree by Glued to My Crafts Blog.

We eat a lot of eggs in our home which means that we always have lots of egg cartons that can be reused in crafts projects. Maybe you have egg cartons lying around your home too in which case this is the perfect craft or you!

Earth Day projects that build fine motor skills

Easy Earth Day Collage by I Heart Crafty Things.

Ripping paper – one of my favorite fine motor building activities. It can also help calm kids who have a tendency to be anxious. If you are working on building fine motor skills in your home progress nook or classroom, then this is the activity for you.
